I don't believe I've ever configured a program to run while I boot to desktop.. I've seen it done in boot time benchmarks where the browser opens up and says "Complete", but I myself probably would never need to have a program auto start. To be honest, when I get to the PC, whatever happens next is random. Maybe I'll play Crysis 3, McGee's Alice, draw in Adobe Flash, hit the infowars scene, or just listen to a song... yep, absolutely random :)

That's about it. Most of those automaticly start with windows. I didn't actually tell them to, But I use all of them daily so I haven't wanted to disable any of them. Plus i'm on a SSD so no slow down.

Are you referring to the startup folder or apps starting with your computer in General? if they would have removed the ability for apps to start with the computer from every version after XP then how would programs launch on startup?

Dude you should seriously remove all the crap like Adobe Updater which just clutter your system. Sure they run as a low priority service and probably suck up about 200KB of memory but they are pretty much pointless and annoying not to mention often a burden on start up time.

Non essentials OS apps and services starting on startup. They do nothing but drag down performance.

I don't have it on my startup list, but I startup Zune, Chrome and Firefox after the computer boots. I never shutdown my computer, always use sleep when possible, and I have an SSD, so startup time is well below a 1 minute after logging in and have a ready to function desktop.

I was the first to disable those items, but they now have virtually no impact on startup time, specially with an SSD drive. Also, Adobe add them again when doing updates, so why bother? If I noticed a performance hit, I would disable them again.

I only remove/disable services that I don't need like Adobe Drive or Switchboard.
